Heavenly Father I praise You for today. I praise You for helping me learn to deal with stress and manage people. I praise You for my job, the change in pace, and the business of it all. I praise You for having enough trust in me to let me move up and still be able to represent You in all that I do. Help me this morning to take command of it and shake all evil out of it. Help me to renew my mind so that I can focus on doing the purpose You created me for instead of allowing sin to creep in with temptations I should not have time for.
Holy Spirit, I ask that You lead me today as I face an audit at my workplace. Help me to be the correct kind of host and to represent my school well. Help me to be honest and to use all criticism as a tool to improve and streamline what we do. Help me to be humble enough to accept that nothing is perfect until we get to heaven. Let me be courageous enough to stand up for my teachers and to be proper in how I represent them.
Holy Spirit help me this year to speak into people’s lives and to help teach others to have confidence in prayer, in reading Your word and just living You in their everyday lives. Help me improve my finances to invest more into Your kingdom and be a giver who honors You wisely. Help me to give up my time and to serve where I can. Help me to remember to pray for healing as I do daily for Kayla. Help me to continue daily to be faithful to pray over and for my family. Help me to join with others in prayer so that we can continue to petition You through the Holy Spirit.
Holy Spirit You inspired Paul to write: Since I am raised with Christ, I will learn to desire those things that are above, where Christ sits at the right hand of God. Help me to set my affection on things above, not be consumed or love things on the earth. For I am dead, and my life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is my life shall appear, then I also shall appear with Him in glory. Teach me to put to death the parts of my earthly nature: sexual immorality, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Because I am learning that these things, the wrath of God comes on the sons of disobedience. I used to live that life with them. I must now put away all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, and filthy language out of my mouth. I no longer can lie to others for that was part of my old nature or way, because I am embracing the new nature to emulate Christ, who has and is becoming my all in all. [Colossians 3:1-11, MEV and paraphrased by me] Thank You for being my guide and prompter as I grow in Christ. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
